I guess nobody told Payne to never go full Levinson.

The Player 1992
"Someone has to die. Someone always does in a political thriller."
Altman on the audio commentary says that this isn't a very cutting satire. But just like A Dirty Shame, this has become more cutting with age! I laughed deeply at every movie pitch ("It's Out of Africa meets Pretty Woman.") Larry Levy (Peter Gallagher) is proto AI who can turn news story headlines into movies. This is sick, but so are movies today. Now more than ever.
Love how…
